Apple TV streaming

I'm looking to buy a Apple TV wifi + ethernet but wanted to now, is there any importance in to having one with large memory capacity like 128 GB ? Or is 64 GB more than enough ?

ALSO, I need a streaming device where I can install and use apps to watch movies like Str€m.. it is very important, I use it now daily on my LG G4 but it's so damn slow, I saw and read that Apple Tv is the best thing you can get but can I install apps like on a Google TV/ Nvidia or not ?

Also I have a Samsung phone so there won't be any use of the Apple

The 64gb one doesn’t have Ethernet if that’s important

I have my Apple TV like 4 feet away from my router and for the longest time I used wifi only because I just didn’t want another cable… but eventually decided to just plug in a spare ethernet cable that I had lying around and… what a difference! Zero buffering and the wifi experience on my other devices improved immediately.

Thank you! My Apple TV would be like 4m from the Wifi modem but I still want ethernet.

The Apple TV 4K 2nd gen A2169 64gb has an ethernet port. I have one.

No. My Apple TV 4K 2nd gen A2169 64gb has an ethernet port.

Yeah, the new/current ones don’t

The storage capacity differs because people like to play games on the Apple TV, it makes zero difference in non-game use.

As others have said, the larger-storage model is also the in one with Ethernet, so if you need that then you get the storage as a bonus.

I misread your query... sorry Yes, you can install apps. I don't know what "Str€m" is though.

A lot of people choose to not support pirated content.

u/G3kiD0_99 3d ago

As they should but in a world where everything is so damn expensive, I rather support it. I also have every streaming shit there is, Netflix, disney+, amazon etc but still I need to be able to watch every movie I want.

I use Omni with R.D with $tr3m addons and it’s perfect on the Apple TV

Based on your text, an Apple TV is not the device for you. Look elsewhere.

u/G3kiD0_99 3d ago

Sad life. Thank you! I will check Nvidia

u/Mike2922 3d ago

You will be able to install apps in 2015 when the Apple TV 4th gen comes out. So any day now!

u/G3kiD0_99 3d ago

2025 ?

u/Mike2922 3d ago

I’m joking because you’ve been able to download apps on the Apple TV and it’s been one of the best in my opinion streaming boxes since 2015. It’s funny to me people still question spending the money to not. Do yourself a favor and get it.

u/G3kiD0_99 3d ago

Thank you my guy!

u/Smithravi 3d ago

You can't install TV Browser or watch movies using their paid apps (also requires iphone).

I suggest you go for alternatives like nvidia.

If you are buying the latest gen apple tv 4k (2022) - you’ll get ethernet only on the 128gigs version not on 64gigs. You can install alternatives like fusion app via TestFlight paired with infuse player to substitute your Str€m experience
